"Ouch!' Kat squealed as she landed on the ground of the Hogsmeade Platform, butt first. Man, how much she HATED Portkeys. First, they can feel themselves baited on a hook as if they were getting fed to the Giant Squid, and then they hurt themselves at the landing. NO MORE PORTKEYS. NONE AT ALL.

She stood up and dusted away the dirt on her uniform. Nasty portkeys, whoever invented these, she thought to herself. After, she went on her way to a carriage and climbed up to take a seat. The carriage moved... on its own? Oh right, thestrals. That was a tiring journey from Platform 9 and 3/4. She should really tell her family about this experience.
